Stuck
Retrofit
Found We were a hopeless notion Missed, unyielding Bound I am frozen and anchored Drowning in longing You’re just a blind desire Full speed towards a dead-end, yeah I don’t have much left to give to you Just settle for absurd Stuck on you Ground She is chosen for kneeling Shielding a feeling Crowned We took the right tactic Don’t be dramatic You’re just a blind desire Full speed towards a dead-end, yeah I don’t have much left to give to you Just settle for absurd Stuck on you Stuck on you

Undertow
Retrofit
Ego flows through an aimless tyrant Psychos paint the rabid confinement Reacquaint, windowed duress Guarded guest grows bold and addresses Harshened limbo assesses intention Apathetic, looming plateau Curtain eyes, captive ties Trying new velcro Shadow dream, wavering Clumsy undertow Coarse water keeps scraping and fading Reflecting grudge threatens releasing Constraints, infectious success Low cost for a darkened impression Intended tomb holds a bargained omen Devoted, sets a weathered sun Curtain eyes, captive ties Trying new velcro Shadow dream, wavering Clumsy undertow

Left Unsaid
Retrofit
Inside One and done Hushed cries Miscarried Twice died On the vine Washed out Long to mourn Teach me I don’t want to try this on my own Search me I don’t want to feel alone So alone Offstage Here to stay Search out Retained decay Silenced Tortured nights Outside Red twilight Teach me I don’t want to try this on my own Search me I don’t want to feel alone So alone Teach me I don’t want to try this on my own Search me I don’t want to feel alone Far from home

No Memories
Retrofit
Hey there, I never knew you We could’ve grown to Build a life Hey there, I would’ve cared for you Looked after you shared all I had But no You were ripped away No You slipped away No Time to leave No Time to grieve No Memories No Pleasantries No You were barely here No Hope Say there, what should we do now Move on somehow Status quo Somewhere, we can start anew And honor you Best we can But no You were ripped away No You slipped away No Time to leave No Time to grieve No Memories No Pleasantries No You were barely here No Hope

Bygone
Retrofit
Gone with him Deserted our idyll Suspicion Did you follow through? So worthless Drive into a wall Space needed Vague reasons why Disconcerted Refuse to let go So worthless Drive into a wall Drive into a wall

Bygone is Retrofit’s debut EP, written and recorded over two years. It’s a nostalgic love letter to 90s and 00s grunge and alternative rock, combining that style with influences from post-rock and alt-metal to create their own post-post-grunge sound.
